[@antiseth3964]

The funny thing about this movie was it had the self-awareness to know it could offer something genuinely smart-if still obviously derivative. The first half was all about acknowledging that connection, and I think the way it did so was unconventional and even a little subversive. That made it kind of exciting. The problem is you can’t just break the fourth wall about making a soulless cash-grab sequel and then actually go and do it. Robbing a bank and telling everyone about how you’re robbing the bank and how it’s “so bad” but you just “have to do it” does *not* make robbing a bank any more OK. In fact, I would have been happy if only they had still delivered on amazing action sequences that the Matrix was already known for. Instead we got insanely bland fight scenes with all of the magic taken out of them. No long takes featuring a flurry of exchanged blows between opponents, or even just clearly decipherable action filmmaking. Nope. We get the same crappy cut-cut-cut that Hollywood cranks out hundreds of times each year. It’s a shame too, because I even liked the new characters and thought they had real potential. But when you look at the finer details of the craftsmanship that went into making the film, it just kinda falls apart.

[@PaladoreEric]

100% agree. That was the best part of the original matrix movies, was that the action scenes pulled the camera back and you could enjoy and actually see what the F was going on. The close ups they did do had purpose not just quick cuts to supposedly increase excitement. Maybe it is just me, but all that up close 1-2 second cut fight scene crap is really distracting and just leaves me confused and uninterested.

[@badconnection4383]

Robbing a bank but telling everyone that robbing a bank is bad but you have to do it? You literally just described the plot of Money Heist.

[@brandonspain12345]

They were all good ideas. It's one of those movies where on paper, this could've been an a amazing movie that stands out from the other films but somehow when you put it together, it's just a awkward sequel. And that really goes to the writers and the choice of director. The Wachowskis already ruined the sequels and made Jupiter Ascending. That alone is a sign that they shouldn't be responsible for writing or directing another movie and hopefully this movie will put them to rest. I think it would've been a much better movie if they had new people involved, a different director that knows how to shoot good action, create subtlety and hire genuine good writers who probably understood the Matrix better than the goddamn creators do. It probably would then be a Wes Craven's New Nightmare of the Matrix, a actual clever meta that does it's own thing while keeping the things that made the original so good like what New Nightmare did.

They should of focused on the machine civil war. Neo's consciousness/spirit/soul is absorbed or transferred into the machine sentience somehow kind of like what Smith does, and his influence enlightens some of the machines to where they are both human and machine and brought Keanu back the way they brought Morpheus back.

[@mvsocial]

Get out of here with your good ideas.

The Machine Civil War gotta be the greatest example of a movie's backstory being leagues better than the movie itself since the opening montage to X-Men Origins: Wolverine

[@3Rayfire]

I appreciate that some of the natural evolution of society that I always though would happen, like the senthients and humans on the same side. The action sequences were...well yeah. I mean we know Keanu can still go, so I don't really see why they didn't make that effort. I love that this was basically Neo and Trinity's love story rebooted and especially that ending. But I'm a sucker for a happy ending so I'm fine with it. Though honestly making a film about the Machine Civil War would've certainly been worthwhile. Call it The Matrix Realities or The Matrix Reordered.

[@Lomata-j6w]

Agreed

[@gargoyles9999]

Niobe says that Neo brought peace but the still have to hide from the machines. So are they at peace or what?

[@3Rayfire]

@@gargoyles9999 The faction of Machines that he made peace with fragmented, had a civil war, and a faction that still wanted to subjugate humans. The fragmentation of occurred because the humans freed so man red pills that the Matrix's power output drastically decreased. The faction that still wants humans fully subjugated won the machine civil war, what's left is more of a cold war than anything. The machines aren't actively hunting for Io, but they also aren't really happy about them freeing people either.

absolutely right!

[@stevenmcg1986]

Omg yes. WAY MORE self away meta than Resurrections. I remember sneaking scenes of New Nightmare on TV back when it came out and being so obsessed with it since I was NOT allowed to watch any scary movies. I didn't even know or understand who Freddy was. Years later in middle school I was finally allowed to watch scary movies and THEN finally realized who Freddy was lol. New Nightmare is by far still the best in the entire franchise imo.

I actually think the french man literally rambling random french words at neo before escaping was funny. There was a lot that they tried to do with this that could have worked if they gave it a bit of another pass on the script and if they had shot the movie with the right level of suspense and action.
